We do this through a variety of ways; as a group we meet weekly to create community among ourselves as a diverse group of religious and non-religious individuals. As an organization, we plan and attend service projects, visits to places of worship, and hold events on campus to engage students, faculty, and staff in the essential and growing conversation about interfaith cooperation. At Better Together, everyone is welcome at the table.

Students of all ethnic backgrounds are welcome to attend our meetings and events to develop a better understanding of intercultural identities.
